My wife started in on hers on Ancestry.com and got curious about my side. She traced my dads side back to the Mayflower and beyond all the way back to the early 1500's in England (grandpa), Germany and France (grandma). I also have a couple presidents in my family tree (found this out before ancestry.com was a thing via my grandmother. She made a family tree decades ago. I'm still waiting for a copy of her version to see if it lines up with what the web says). We have relatives in Canada yet but seemingly none on the east coast. There is a long history of shipping boat captains on my grandfathers side and I'm sure that brought the family over the great lakes to settle on the shores of Lake Superior.
My moms side is from Finland with a tiny amount of Swedish mixed in on my grandfathers side. Grandmas family came straight out of Lapland for as far back as I can trace it. I would be 4th generation born in America for this side.
The skandinavian countries seem to be difficult to find records for. A lot of what I've found on ancestry has been church records.
Interesting stuff. We have only been at it for a week and are still working on finding documents from family members to confirm.
